               Any act constituting a violation of the provisions of this article or a failure to
               comply with any of its requirements, including violations of any conditions and safeguards
               established in connection with the grants of variances, shall also subject the offender
               to a civil penalty of $100.00 for each day the violation continues up to a maximum
               of $10,000.00. If the offender fails to pay this penalty within ten days after being
               cited for a violation, the penalty may be recovered by the county in a civil action
               in the nature of debt. A civil penalty may not be appealed to the board of commissioners
               if the offender was sent a final notice of violation and did not take an appeal to
               the board of commissioners within the prescribed time. Each day that any violation
               continues after notification by the county manager or by his designee that such a
               violation exists shall be considered a separate offense for the purpose of the penalties
               and remedies specified in this section.
